Axalta Coating Systems has introduced two new high solid epoxy primers to its agriculture, construction and earth moving equipment (ACE) markets. Corlar® 3.5 PRTM and Corlar 3.0 PRTM are two-component, VOC conforming, low HAPs productive primers recommended for use over properly prepared substrates and most aged to hard cured coatings.

Both primers are formulated to be highly durable with very fast dry times to deliver excellent corrosion and chemical resistance for most coating types. Both products are designed for two different types of corrosion testing. Corlar 3.5 is formulated for cyclic corrosion testing while Corlar® 3.0 is formulated for salt spray applications.

“Axalta’s two new Corlar primers are compatible with most coating types and are designed for mild to harsh corrosive environments,” said Eric Kwasnicka, Axalta Product Manager. “Customers will appreciate the productivity of these primers that will provide them with the durability they trust for their agriculture and construction coating projects.”
